New Stamps are Coming!!! AND Blog Candy

Hello fellow crafters, it is that time again!  What time, you ask?  Time for a new release of stamps.  ArTish has brought us some wonderful and very versatile stamps this round.  For all you fans of Tilda and other "people" stamps, you will find these stamps will work great for backgrounds.  In addition, they are also detailed and nice enough to use as stand alone stamps for those of you who do not use "people" stamps.

The following stamps are red rubber cling foam-backed. They are available for pre-sale presently. Expected to ship towards the end of February. You will find that these stamps are very large, thus would work well on scrapbook pages .

How would you like a chance to win one of these stamps?

Leave me a comment and tell me which one you would pick, and copy and paste a the picture of it on your blog with a link back to this post.

We will announce two winners sometime soon after the end of February.

And be on the watch from some new digitals coming soon.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

Tutorial Time with Adrina - How to make your own charm

How to make your own charm or key ring image!!

Used materials:
Shrink or Magic Sheet
Sandpaper
Stamp
Ink
Pencils or Copics
Scissors
Punch
Cardboard box
Heat tool

First you need to take a sheet of the Shrink or Magic Sheet.

Then make the surface a little rough with some sandpaper.
Take a (Pixie Cottage) stamp and stamp it on the sheet.
I used Hoo Loves You, available at Michelles Scrapbooking and More.

Then colour the image with your pencils or Copics.

Then cut out the image and make a hole in top of the image with a punch.
Put the image in a cardboard box and heat it with your heat tool.

The image shrinks, it becomes 3 times smaller and 9 times thicker.

Then make a charm of it and put it on your project or put it at your key ring.

HAVE FUN!!! Adrina
